Book Description
Science is the ultimate parenting tool. After all, it’s really all about observing, asking questions, solving problems, making mistakes, and trying again and again and again—just like being a mom or dad! Come along with Lynn Brunelle as she initiates you into the joys of geek-style parenting. A proud geek mom herself—and an Emmy-winning writer for the show Bill Nye, the Science Guy—Lynn has had a love of science from the time she was a child. When she had her own kids, science became like a friend she could lean on for support, helping her make sense of the joy, pain, and uncertainty of parenting. Join her as she infuses her days with science, and shares it, in all its geeky wonder, with her kids.

Book Description
Missing cases. Ashen remains. Fire and fog. Something unnatural has come forth, terrorizing unsuspecting victims. This creature erupts from the sky, extinguishing lives from our existence. All acts seem random, the deaths unexplainable, the bodies indecipherable. These are the elements that convinced bored college graduate Mina Clyne to investigate the supernatural. But with eyewitness accounts as her only evidence, she becomes desperate to prove the demon's existence despite the constant supervision of skeptical and overprotective friends. Only action will give her the answers, the reason these bodies were taken from the earth and charred completely to ash. But how far will she go to prove a supernatural truth? And will she survive when in the midst of all fires lies...the demon's fog. Written By Christine Soltis Copyright (c) July 2010 First Edition
